　厚生労働省と文部科学省は１４日、今年３月に卒業予定の大学生の就職内定率が、昨年１２月１日時点で８３．０％になったと発表した。新型コロナウイルス感染拡大で大幅に落ち込んだ前年同期から０．８ポイント上昇。コロナ前の水準には届かなかったが、景気回復を見据えて採用意欲が向上した企業もあり、３年ぶりの上昇となった。
　内定率は就職希望者に対する内定者の割合。男女別では男子が８１．３％（前年同期比０．９ポイント上昇）、女子が８５．０％（同０．７ポイント上昇）で、ともにプラスとなった。文理別は理系が８７．３％で文系の８２．１％を上回った。（2022/01/14-19:19）

A survey by the Japanese labor and education ministries showed Friday that 83.0 pct of job-seeking university students who are slated to graduate in March had informal job offers as of Dec. 1 last year.
   The figure was up 0.8 percentage point from a year before, when it dived amid the fallout of the novel coronavirus crisis, due to more firms willing to hire in anticipation of an economic recovery. The proportion rose for the first time in three years while falling short of pre-pandemic levels.
   The share of male students who obtained informal job offers stood at 81.3 pct, up 0.9 point, and that of female students was up 0.7 point at 85.0 pct.
   The rate came to 87.3 pct for students majoring in sciences and 82.1 pct for students in humanities and social science courses.
   By region, the figure was highest for students at universities in Kanto in eastern Japan, including Tokyo, at 86.7 pct. Meanwhile, year-on-year drops were recorded for students at universities in the Kinki western region, the Chugoku-Shikoku western bloc and the area comprising the northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido and the Tohoku northeastern region.
